Not meant to be demeaning -- I refer to everybody that way more often than not (a very SC thing with which I grew up). At 66, I'm a senior woman as well -- we're only two years apart. I consider you a peer. But no problem. Should we ever interact again, I'll remember you take offense to someone merely being nice.

I've not had the same experience with Marley that you you've had, so I can't speak to that. And yes, people should have a right to disagree. My issue is she also has the same right, yet folk can run to Medium to in effect, "cancel" her from the platform. There are plenty of us here who enjoyed her writing and her opinions because we understood from where her wrath was coming. That others could not appreciate that is on them, all they had to do was not read her stuff. As far as not "troubling each other" anymore -- fine with me.
